Hiya all, hope 2023 is working out.
After buying classical vinyl in fits and starts over 25 years, about 500 LPs in my modest collection, this is the year (world recession notwithstanding) that I want to seriously get my head down to building a proper collection or library.
1...since we moved to Norfolk we've attended a shedload more classical concerts, on average fortnightly, and I've got a real passion developed for the music.
2...my system/gear/tweaks spending and navel gazing is pretty much done, my system is excelling way more than back in my old apartment in London, especially on classical and jazz, even compared to 6 months ago, recent TT/arm/cart/amp mods have really come thru, and my Arya Audio Airblades tweeters purchase alongside my venerable Zu spkrs has opened up sonically just what's needed for classical to flourish here.
--
So, my mental energies moving from gear to music, funds that would have gone on boxes, cables and footers can now go on music, and I've just acquired a 1983 copy of The Penguin Guide To Recorded Classical Music.
I'd just like some tips, alerts to pitfalls, and just all round advice, on entering what's quite a daunting field.
All and any advice welcome from this relative newbie to classical, and classical LP collecting.
